Manuscript of the famous Maqāmāt (Orations, literally sittings, sessions, meetings); a genre of highly developed Arabic rhythmic prose intended to amuse and entertain but also with critical social, moral and political undercurrents, by Abū Muḥammad al-Qāsim ibn ʻAlī al-Ḥarīrī al-Baṣrī (1054-1122), from al-Baṣrah (Iraq), one of the most celibrated and prolific authors of the 11th/12th centuries. The Maqāmāt have been translated into many European and Oriental languages. They are also known by the titles: al-Maqāmāt al-Ḥarīrīyah and Maqāmāt Abī Zayd al-Surūjī (a fictitious charachter). They are fifty in number. The manuscript was a gift from Abū Bakr, a Chinese Muslim teacher of Arabic in Beijing, to Samuel Zwemer (probably the missionary Samuel M. Zwemer, 1867-1952) on 4 Dhū al-Qaʻdah, 1335 (22 August 1917). According to Abū Bakr's letter written in Arabic and pasted on the back of the front cover, the manuscript was copied more than two hudred years ago probably in China.
